THE BOOMING MOUNTAIN BEsORT

KNOWN Locality.
The wonderful growth Of Los Angeles
county has astonished not only the peo'
ale Of the East, but of this coast as
well. The establishment of half a dozen
nav towns a week has become very
ordinary occurrence, and is the natural
result of the enormous influx Of Eastern
people who are seeking homes beneath
the genial skies of the sun'land OF
Southern California. In whatever direc.
tion from the city we go scores of new
residences are seen in course OF con-
atructiop, and orchards and vineyards
are being planted and the increasing
value of property is shown by such in.
dubitable evidence that the most skept-
ical croaker is compelled to creep within
his hole and hide his diminished head.
OF the many beautiful places along
the foothills, Pasadena, Alhambra,
Sierra Madre, Monrovia, Gladstone,
Arcadia, Lordsburg, or any OF the other
delightful resorts, each has its own
peculiar advantages and adaptations OF
soil and climate which tend to make 1T
desirable resort for visitors. The tide
of Improvement has heretofore been
chiefly in the San Gabriel Valley, but
within the past three months it has
made sudden and most decided turn to
the northward along the S. z. K. r.,
and in consequence Glendale, Burbank
and San Fernando are beginning to make
great advances. These are all delight.
ful places with prosperous future.
But the most surprising place IN Los
Angeles county in every respect, is the
new town of Monte Vista, whose Post
Office will be known as Sunland in the
future. Situated in the midst of the
mountains, eight miles east of San Fer
nsndo and only four miles from the
s. P. r. R., and twelve miles west OF
Pasadena, Monte Vista possesses such
advantages of situation, climate, water
and soil as to make it pre-eminently the
most promising town we have yet seen.
The elevation is twelve hundred feet
above sea level, and during the summer
season it is from six to ten degrees cooler
than in Los Angeles. and 10 winter il is
about that much warmer. Free from
frost and fogs, with a warm, dry, pure
mountain air, Monte Vista shows as
great difference in climate from Los
Angeles, as Los Angeles does from New
York.
